Harden's survey result
Summary
“Ex Roux, Ladenis and Marco prodigy and former Firmdale Hotel Group exec chef, Robin Read, serves a variety of tasting menus showcasing local produce” at this new arrival, which opened just before our annual diners’ poll and which is rated from the rave reviews from a small number of impressed reporters. Another dazzled visitor was The Guardian’s Grace Dent, who – in her July 2024 review – hailed “a gorgeous room” that was “hard to fault… because this is precise, accomplished cooking that feeds you classily but plentifully, then aims to finish you off entirely with the dessert courses”. Top Menu Tips – “notable dishes included cured mackerel croustade; Birchen asparagus and seaweed; and cavolo nero cavatelli”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
